The Loki solo mode makes for a great gaming experience, but there is nothing better than setting off on an adventure with a few friends.

Join in with Loki’s multiplayer modes, which allow for an incredible variety of adventures on LAN or online.

Co-op
Up to 6 players can advance through the game.

Duel
One-on-one duels (PvP) in a dedicated arena.

Battle
2 teams of up to 4 players each fight it out in a dedicated arena.

Challenge
20 different challenges against some of the game’s monsters can be played with up to six players.

Ladder
An online ranking system allows players to see where they stand compared to other players.

Closed mode
Online heroes, used in multiplayer games, can be saved on the Cyanide GameCenter meaning that a network character can be guaranteed not to have been modified locally and then uploaded to the server. This enables “honest” combats for the greater pleasure of all concerned.
